Thanks for the manual. I did read up on other posts regarding the lid switch. I have some follow up questions.

1. I tried to pull the lid off without luck. I assume I have to drain the water my self and pull the washer unit forward so i can remove the entire top lid? Than I can get access to that damn lid switch.

2. I assume there are only 2 wires leading up to the lid switch. If so can I just jump them together and never have to deal with this damn switch again? thanks

on your machine there is a fuse assy. on the inside of the cabinet.. its located under your pressure switch which is located on the front left side of your machine...if your lid switch checks good this fuse is a good second place to look-if its blown. just match up the watts and volts when replacing

ok so I read some more of the "lid switch" posts. And unlike other people my unit does not even fill it with water. I drained the washer it by removing the black hose that carry the bleach into a 5gal bucket.

I removed the front panel, than the 2 screws holding the top panel.Pull the top panel off and found the lid switches. I got 2 of them?

If the fuse is blown then the water will not come in. The cherry switch is probably good.. The white micro switch is what gives the most problemas in these here washers in spin cycle. It is called a CHECK switch. Replace that baby!
